I feel distracted?
Hi. I’m Eryn, 21 and bisexual... I’ve been in a committed relationship with a man for a little over 2 years.. and I decided this year is the year to be honest with myself. My sexuality is not a secret.. and it’s never really been a problem.. but lately I’ve felt as though I am neglecting that side of me. And I do love him.. but I also feel a bit of resentment in him that I won’t get to experience that part of my life :(
I hope me responding is okay! I feel like I can relate so I just wanted to share with you. You’re not alone in this. So many people are going through what you’re going through, and reaching out is good. Your feelings are valid and it’s hard to navigate! I’m 26 and bisexual/pansexual and have experienced similar feelings. I have had relationships with men and have somewhat with women but it feels like it hasn’t been enough. I relate to you because I feel like I’m neglecting that side as well. Honestly if you are feeling this way and a bit of resentment towards your partner I would say the best thing to do is sit down and have an open and honest conversation about how you are feeling and the steps to take! You love him and he loves you and I’m sure he can understand how hard this can be. You are young and should experience your life to the fullest exploring both options and allowing yourself to do what you feel. Don’t be hard on yourself, this is a very tricky thing to navigate.
